Before you use Philips Lumea Essential, perform a skin test (see user
manual). After the skin test, wait for 24 hours and check your skin for any
reactions. If you notice any skin reactions, choose the highest setting that
did not result in any skin reactions, for subsequent use.
When you use Lumea regularly, please avoid
1
sunbathing. If you have sunbathed, make sure
you wait at least 2 weeks before you use Lumea
Essential.
You need to prepare your skin by shaving the
2
desired treatment area before using Lumea.
Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually
happens after 4-5 treatments, you no longer have
to shave before you use the appliance.
Check if the attachment and light exit window are
3
clean. If there is dirt, hair or fibre on the window,
clean it with the cloth supplied before use.
Make sure you place back the body attachment
4
properly.

Then select the light intensity level that matches
your skin tone. To choose the appropriate setting,
simply consult the suitability chart on the back of
this quick start guide.
To adjust the light intensity setting, press the on/off
6
button one or more times until you have reached
the required setting.
Place Lumea at a 90-degree angle on your skin and
7
ensure full skin contact. When you have full skin
contact, the 'ready to flash' light turns green.
Press the flash button to release a flash. Lift the
8
appliance off your skin and place it on the next area
to be treated, making sure there is some overlap.
Then press the flash button again.
With Lumea Essential Plus, you can choose the
9
mode you'd like to use. Slide and flash is the main
application mode. You just keep the flash button
pressed down and flash will continue to go off as
you glide.
After each flash, it takes up to 3.5 seconds until the
appliance is ready to flash again. During this charging
time, the 'ready to flash' light blinks when the
appliance is in full contact with your skin.
